The motor company are experiencing some dinictilty in securing men to run their curs , from the fact that u bond for f500 Is exacted to stand against accidents which are caused by carelessness or Incompctcncy. The petition for the creation of a Fifth ward is awakening much discussion. The growth of the city , and the stretching out to wards the river Is the cuuso of the new move. It Is meeting with no little opposition. Deeds ana mortgages , 1XJ ! and 400 respect * Ivcly , were recorded yesterday as one of the results of the Evans lot sale. Among other transfers wore Charles Ofllcer to Edwin Wilkins , live lots In Highland Place , fl,00'J ; S. S. Hust to Daniel liohen , several lots , $1,000. The switch connecting the old street car line on Pearl street with the now double mo tor track was put In yesterday In front of TKK line oftlco. The remainder of the stone paving torn up on Uroudway at the head of Pearl street was replaced , and the block paving on the latter street will bo rclald to day. day.Tho The slate rooflng of the now Washington nvcnuo school building has all been put in place with the exception of the fewer which < s not yet completed. The structure is daily growing Into uioro beautiful proportions , as the tower ncars completion. This building will bo fur handsomer than any other owned by the city. The funeral services over the body of Anton Jensen were held yesterday afternoon at ii o'clock at the former boarding house of the deceased , 1418 South Tenth street. The deceased had no relatives in this part of the country , and when ho was taken sick ho was taken to the Woman's Christian hospital. Hero ho was tenderly cared for und all that was posftlblo was done to effect his recovery. HP died Wednesday afternoon. The body was token by friends nnd decently burled. The Evans lot sale at auction was con cluded Wednesday evening. Two hundred nnd three lots were sold. The prices aver aged 5352.50 per lot. This , for a single day's sale , is remarkable , nnd what may be con sidered more so Is the fact that nearly nil the buyers were men who will proceed at once to build upon them cither business blocks or residences. A largo number of others were disposed of yesterday at private sale , Mr. Evans duplicating the prices paid during the auction on lots similarly situated. The wedding ring displayed by Harkness Hros. on Wednesday was one of the neatest tilings designed and gotten up on that occa sion. It lays in a cushion of cardinal plush , which gives It a pleasing background. The hoop is n combination of riubons which blend beautifully. The set is n combination of pearls and different colored ribbons , which glvo a good imitation of a diamond. Above it is the date for which It is made , October 30 , upon a Hold of blue.

Closing the Old Term , Making Ilcmly For the New A Tribute to Uti- glnccr Moore Accident to the Motor Wire. Opening Day of the Itnces. The opening day of the fall trotting meet ing nt Union park was all tlwt could bo desired - sired , BO tar as the weather was concerned , with the exception of a high wind tlmt blew up the stretch during the latter purt of the afternoon. The attendance was rather light , us is usually the caao on the first day. The track was In fine condition , nnd the horses entered were excellently fitted to make flno races. The Judges were M. C. Wilbur and John Mitchell , of Omaha , and G. U. Wilson , of Council Bluffs. Timer , J. II. McShnne , of Omaha. The feature of the day was the Wonderful performance of the two-year-old pacer , Ed. Uoscwater. The wind died down somewhat nbout the time of his great speed trial and made the difllcultlcs of the feut somewhat less. The truck was a little too dry for record-breaking , but the wonderful gray succeeded in doing what he attempted that Is , to bent 2:24' : . JJettlng was heavy on the result , and the backers of the gumo animal coined money. Mr. Soloman , the owner of the colt , Is positive that this time can be beaten under more favorable circumstances. Another attempt will be made to-inorrow. The races are of sufficient Interest to war rant the attendance of a large crowd , and it is expected that both Omaha und Council Bluffs will bo well represented at the park to-day. The result of yesterday's races is us follows : VIH T men. The flrst event of the day was the 2:35 : trot. Thcro were nine entries. Positions were drawn for as follows : Betsy Baker pole , Mollie H second , Wclchmun third , Peter Gardner fourth , Golden Wing llfth , Jennie Lynn sixth , Funnutto seventh , Lady Leighton eighth. They were sent uway on the llltli attempt. Although there was a largo Held , they went to the turn well bunched. As they swung into the back stretch Mollie II forged to the front und led the way to the half , wher Jennie Lynn began to open the road. The race down the stretch was not particularly Interesting. Mollie H foil back to third , as Fannctto was pushed to the front. Jennie wus driven for a close finish ana took second place , being a nose behind Funnetto as they went under the wire. They were placed as follows : Fancttc , Jennie Lynn , Mollie H , AVelchman , Betsy Uakcr , Peter Gardner. Time 2:3:3. : : In the serond heat the horses were sent off without trouble. Peter Gardner had a little the best of the start , anil at the turn took the pole , holding it to the half , where Welch man passed him. On the upper turn Fun netto also moved up und held second place very nicely around into the homo stretch. Welchman broke two or three times getting squared for the wire , and Gardner mudc n short ruu for second place. Funnetto trotted very prettily , nnd set the pace too fust for the others , Welchman being forced off his feet. The race to the wire was ex citing. Welchman and Pcto Gardner did considerable running nnd Funnetto was pocketed , but wus given the heat , us she would undoubtedly have won it if given n fair show , and trotted the mile without u breuk. Peter Gurdncr wus placed second nnd Welchman third. Jennie Lynn took fourth. Betsy Baker fifth , Mollie H sixth , Lady Leighton seventh , Golden Wing eighth. Time 2:30. : Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting them ruvny In tlic third heat. A start was finally secured which was the exact duplicate of the preceding ono. Gardner took the lead at the turn , Welchman a close second , and the others trailing to the quarter polo. The raeo was u close ono to the lliusli. Jennie Lynn was let out on the back stretch , and took an easy lead , but Welchman and Fannctto stayed by her to the wire. Welch- man was in the air half of the time , but the mares trotted handsomely. At the finish they were Jennie Lynn first , Welchmnn second , Fannctto third , Lady Leighton fourth , Peter Gardner llfth , Betsy Baker sixth , Mollie H. seventh , Golden Wing eighth. Time 2:34 : . The horses were tired as they came out for the fourth heat , and It was getting dark. It was almost too dark to sec the horses when they were finally got away , after countless attempts. As well as could bo seen from the Judge's stand , it was a running race the greater part of the way. Funnetto was left at the start , but by square trotting nnd wonderful speed managed to secure second end place at the outcome. Welchman continued to dance and run , and was well imitated by the majority of the others. The position at the wire was Jennie Lynn first , Fannetto second end , Wolchtnun third , Lady Leighton fourth , Peter Gardner fifth , Mollie H sixth , Golden Wing seventh , Betsy Bukor eighth. Time 2:35 : . The race will be finished this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Funnetto was very tired , but is heavily backed to win the last heat and race to-day. SECOND IUCE. This was the 2:2S : trot nnd pace. Thcro were seven entries , but only three started. The phenomenal two-year-old pacer , Ed Uosowaicr , was ono of the entries , and the owners of the trotters refused to start un less distance was waived. This was refused until after the race was called , and only the pacers responded. It was u wulk-u\vay for Hoscwater. The only object was to place second nnd third moneys. In the first heat Uosowator drew the polo , Oliver E second und John third. Positions were unaltered at the llnish. Time 2:30. : In the second heat Uosewater paced to beat the world's record of 2:24f : ! for two-year-old pacing. It wus a splendid exhibition. The wonderful gray went to the quarter in SR'f , the half in l.OOtf , the three-quarters in 1:40 : , and the mile in 2:22. : The exhibition was a very interesting one , and well worth going miles to witness. The others were placed as before. In the third nnd last heat , Hosewator finished In ! 3:2t : % John second and Oliver E third. The race was won by Kosowater , Oliver E second , John third. BUMMAUY.

The readers of TUB BEE will remember the cattle case wh U developed several months ago , and in which were interested J. C. Abbott , A. Groanameyer , the Citizen's1 State bank , as a corporation , and others. The case was docketed , "The CItircni1 State Bank vs. Abbott. " A trial on its merits at the last term of court resulted In a vordlct 110,000 for Abbott. A motion for a now trial was made by plaintiff , which has Jutt been overruled by Judge Lootbourovr. TUu the Judge refuses to disturb the verdict. The plaintiff has not yet given notice of ap peal , but It is understood this will bd the next move. Court adjourned this morning until the 13th , when the new term opens with Judge Carson on the bunch. There are oti the new docket forty-six criminal cnscs , nnd then the Leo embezzlement ca c , nnil that of Bernard Gross for receiving stolen property.

The line work on the wires of the electric motor company was completed about 10 o'clock yesterday morning , when the last switch near the Methodist church was put In position. Scarcely had the work been done when the great wires began to stretch under an enormous strain. Immediately fol lowing this the wires suddenly slackened , the insulators along the cross wires began to unhook , as the main wires swayed vie lently from side to side , nnd as they catno rattling to the ground it wus evident that there was u break somewhere. It wiis quickly located at the Northwestern cross ing. A steam shovel attached to a freight train had collided with the wires , which were twenty-three feet high at that point , and before the train could bo stopped the damage wus done. Both wires were broken , ono of them in two places. The linemen were set to work repairing the damage us quickly as possible , but it will require two cays to undo the mischief. It was intended to have put on regular trains , yesterday afternoon , running every ten minutes , but the accident prevented. It is hoped to get trains running to-day , nnd as soon as possible , n regular schedule will be established. The breakage and consequent delay has called forth many unfavorable re marks concerning the railway company , und the train men who caused the accident. The electric motor line is dear to the Council Bluffs people , and they are very sensitive about any hurt to it. The train men had no knowledge of any such wires , und were not on the lookout for them. Hereafter the rail way men will be on the lookout that no more such accidents inuy occur.

Joseph Durand , a traveling man in the employ of Chapman , Green & Co. of Chicago , was playing pool last eve ning in the Manhattan billiard parlors with a stranger , and before the games wore "settled all parties concerned gained quite a little unpleasant notor iety. Both players wore experts witli the cue , and they played fora dollar u game , "just to make it interesting , you know. " Durand proved too much fo r the stranger , and the latter was "out o soap" at the end ef eleven games. lit left the table and started toward the counter in the front part of the room and Durand supposed ho was going ti settle for the tablo. On attempting I leaves the room a few minutes later hi was surprised to learn that his opponcn had left without paying , nnd lie wan re quested by Mr. Rudio to settle the bill This ho refused to do , and an officer wa : called in , who took Duraid to the station Ho finally offered to scttlo his half of tin bill amounting to 55 cents , and Hudlo wa compelled to accept It , as n refusal would have boon a tacit acknowledgment tliat the table was used for gambling , the loser to pay for Its uso. Durand wus exceedingly "hot" over the matter , und promised to glvo the phfce plenty of frcoadvoi Using among the traveling men who run in hero. The specta tors generally elded In with him , nnd felt that he hail been subjected to needless in- dlirnltles. Hotli players had been previously in the gambling houses farther up the street , and the change resulted disastrously. It U hardly probable that uny of the parties 'con cerned will bo especially buncUltcU by the | occurrence. Thieving The merchants on upper Broadway are terribly annoyed by potty thieves , who tnko everything they can curry away without de tection , The articles are mostly a wall and of little' valuo. Several , small boys Imvo been caught doing these depredatory acts , but have thus far , by tears and promises ! , escaped prosecution. ' One .druggist confided to the reporter yesterday the fact that ho did not diirc to leave ui ythjug of value upon the show cases. At one time u largo quantity of Scdlitz powdets dl < u > pourcd mysteriously und , notwithstanding ho kept u close watch , they nil went ilnd ficlcould not tell where.

Entlnc the Old Mnrc. New York Times : Ono day last week Dr. Rush S. Ilnidokcner , chief of the veterinary school of the University of Pennsylvania and n prominent figure in Philadelphia society , gave a dinner tea a number of friends at the Philadelphia club. For the last thirteen years Dr. Iluidokoper has owned a famous gray mare , hunter and steeplechaser , named Pandora. At the dinner last week one of the principal dishes on the menu card was ' "filet a la Pandora. " The gucnts supposed ( that the dish was named in honor-iof the old stcople- chabcr , whom thoy.'Jjad ' scon take many a ditch and manyjifencc , { and como in the winner of many an exciting race. After the filet had been eaten and pro nounced very toothsome by the guests Dr. lluidekeper remarked that ho was glad of his guebts"aipreciation ) for his favorite horse , "for , " he said , "you have just eaten her. | " The guebts looked at each other in amazement , and aftoi- short interval of bilcnco there was a roar of laughter. Than , in an instant , all seemed to remember Pan dora as they had boon her at the last meet , and then , in- reverential silence , the company rose to their feet , lifted their glasses to their , lips , and sipped in bolemn silence to the memory of the old gray marc they had jubt devoured. Pandora wu& shot. She was twenty years olu , and on account of lameness in hoi- fore feet she had become a bur , den to herbclf. It was not on account of her old ago that she was doomed to death , but because her front feet wore bo bore that she could no longer take fences and stone walls. Aside from her lameness the was as frisky ns most horses at half her ago. The gray coat , speckled with red spots , made her un prepossessing ; in appearance , but she was the heroine in most of the hunts in and around Philadelphia that have taken place since the centennial. She only mibbed ono encampment since the reorganization of the national guard , ton years ago. After Pandora was bhot the choicest meat was cut from her bones and taken to the cuisine of the Philadelphia club , where chef was sworn to secrecy , and the moat was dis guised as a joint of beef and sowed to Dr. Huidcltoper's guests. Dr. Huidokcpor this evening , in speaking of the dinner at which Pan dora was devoured , baid : "Five years ago ono of the biggest restaurants in Berlin wore sold out and the bills for beef furnished wore all presented by horse dealers. All horsp meat is as good as beef. It is a pity that horse meat is not eaten in this country. The horbe would not have to bo worn out and sold to hucksters at $11 and $12 when they would bring good prices for moat. The people in this city cat beef a great deal more unlit for food than good horse meat. I can go to the stock yards in West Phil adelphia and pick out n doicn head of cnttlo any morning that are utterly unfit to eat that are tent to market. There is no inspection of meat in this city and the law is violated every day. The only beef that is properly inspected is that eaten by the Hebrews , which is killcil according to their rule. The council o the veterinary school of Belgium ever recommended dog meat for human food after being properly inspected. While in Europe several years ago I inspected the slaughter houses of Berlin. On my return homo I wrote an article whicli was p.ublibhcd in the Veterinary Re view "describing the Berlin bybtem o inspection , which is the best in the world. There are 125,000 human deaths in this country every year from tuber oulosis , and nearly one-half of them nr < _ the direct result-1 $ f eating diseased beef. " ' | Hetjnto's Ghastly Table , Filty years ago 015 thereabouts , says a writer in thoNaw'YorlcSun , Giuseppe Sogato , a Florentine physician , an nounced that ho h'UjI discovered a way of petrifying the human body BO as to prcborvo its form without change of ap pearance , lie submitted specimens of his work to the giUind duke of Tuscany , who thought woll'pf the discovery and otlorod to buy it frojrt Sognto. The phy sician refused the offer , and while ho waited for a higher bid died , cither suddenly or after nVory short illness. IIo never revealed his p'rocess , und his bccrot wus buried Jwlth him. The following description of Segato's ' best-known specimen , first published about n year ago in a medical journal I , has since appeared in almost every newspaper in the country : yn In the Pittl pnlaco at Florence is n table which for originality in the mat ter ol construction and ghastliness tn conception is probably without a rival. It was mndo by Glutioppo Sngato , who passed several years of his lifo in its manufacture. To thu casual observer it givop the improssUm of a curious moxnlo of marbles of different uluuloB and colors , far it looks like : polished stonu. In nmlltyit is com posed of human muscles and vicorn. No less than a hundred botll.es wprorcqulsl- sioned for the material. The tnblo is rautid und about a yard in dia'mctorr , with a pedestal and four , claw feet , the whole being formed ol petrified human remains. The ornnmcnts.of the pedes tal are tnnilu from the Intestines , the claws from hearts , livers and lungs , the natuial color ol which IB preserved. The table top is constructed of muscles artistically arranged'and it is bordered with upward of a hundred eyes , the ef fect of which is said to bo highly artis tic , stnco they retain all their luster nnd teem to follow the observer. Sogato died about fifty years ago. Ho obtained his bodies' from the hospitals nnd in durated them by impregnation with mineral salts . In the first place the "tablo" is not in the Pitti palace , but in the anatomical collection of the now St. Mary's hospital ; there the present writer had an oppor tunity of examining it , in compilny with Dr. Stanisliio Bianchi , who is in charge of the collection. The "tablo" is oval , of what looks like mahogany ; it is about eighteen inches long by twelve wide , and consists of a top only ; It hns no appearance whatever of over having had a pedestal. The human petrifactions on it consist of thin and small sections or slices about onc- slxty-fourth of nn inch thick , which are veneered upon it. Sumo are diamond- shaped , some oval , others square , with surfaces like lino-grained wood , nil ar ranged in a symmetrical rectangular oblong design ; there is a border around it , presenting at first sight the ap pearance of a checker-board. Some of these veneers , by the effects of damp ness , have become detached ; ono or two have fallen oil altogether. Prof. Binnchi pointed out that these veneers were small bits of organisms of the hu man body , such as the loins , kidneys , liver , spleen , lungs , skin all of natural color and that probably in order to got them of small si/.e they had been taken from boys' cadavers. There were , how ever , no human eyes in the border or anywhere else. Dr. Bianchi showed other specimens of Segato's process a female scalp ol perfectly natural color , with long , flow ing hair attached ; n woman's breasts , fair and white , perfectly life-like. In these cases the parts preserved wore like medium pasteboard in thickness and firmness. IIo showed albo petrified reptiles , fish , and separate parts of thu human body , all prepared by Segato , and doubtless submitted by him when ho offered to sell his secret to the Tus can government. A Confidence Gninc. "Kiljordan , you know that district telegraph boy that sometimes runs er rands for moV" "Yes. " "I put up 810on him in n foot race the other day. That is , I bet $10 he'd lose the race. " "Well , you won that race , didn't you , Grindstone ! ) " "No , 1 lost. The telegraph boy won the race before the other got started. I learned afterward that the other fel low was an elevator boy. It was a mean confidence game , Kiljordan * " .
